- Packaging Features: Transparent "window" showing the figure, decorative borders, and retro logo fonts
- Figure Aesthetics: Stylized poses, glamorous outfits (think sequins, tutus, or power suits), and exaggeratedly polished details
- Nostalgic Vibe: Recreates the iconic look of vintage Barbie packaging, evoking memories of 90s toy collecting and timeless glamour
